Pokeball Nails!

I've seen these popping up around the interwebz, and decided to try to do my own. I'm going to call them a success. 

Ahh...nerd nails. :)

They were really simple to do. Ignore the paint around my cuticles...as I was finishing up, everyone was rushing out the door to go eat, so I didn't get a chance to do any clean up on them. 

The colors I used were:
      Red: Wet n Wild "Red Red"
      White: Fingerpaints "Paper Mache" and Art Deco "White"
      Black: Art Deco "Black"
      Top Coat: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

I took a piece of Scotch tape and taped off the red before I painted it. Then I just carefully painted the white up to that line.

I took the Art Deco black (These are the skinny bottles with the long brushes) and did one straight line across where the red and white meet, then took a nail art dotting tool and made the black circles. As you can see, they're not perfect. 

Then I took the Art Deco White and made a dot in the middle of each black circle. Yes, I could have used the dotting tool and the Fingerpaints white...but that would mean having to stop and clean my dotting tool, and since I HAVE the Art Deco white, and the tip of the brush made perfect dots...you get the picture.

One of these days I'm going to take pictures WHILE I do something. I never do, because I always think that it won't turn out well (even tho the things I do almost always DO turn out well...) and I don't want to waste the energy to take the pictures. Um...have I mentioned I'm kinda lazy?

Well let me know what you think, and if you can think of any cool nails I could do let me know!!!
